January 2011 - no more junk late at night

rosemary10

Where did the last 2 days go? Maybe the Snacks ate em? I've been working but being good, thankfully.

Me 5 vs JS 1

Zaza - You go girl!

Rayflana - Good job against the snacks :flowerforyou:

Lula -them and Turkey Hill, we're gonna get em, they won't get the best of us! :drinker:

Love - That's what I'm saying too :laugh: Trying not to go screaming over on my calories.

Dew!!! - What a LOVELY score! Good for you! :flowerforyou:

Oh I need this group! LNS is my nemesis! I want to not eat after 9pm. This may seem late but it is super early for me. Considering I am about to get off work at 11pm and head home... This is where I crash and burn, because I cant go to sleep, and I want to snack because I have been running around a hotel for 8 hours... so I find my self snacking and watching tv to wind down. So I am going to say starting yesterday
LNS-1 ME-0 :ohwell:

Zaza, remember those times when our virtue was to keep on trying, in spite of our scores? Being honest about it and trying again each day? This is the road to success, imho, so :flowerforyou: and a for being honest and for wanting to get back on track.

asj, start anew today. LNS did not deserve that point last night, because you were not officially in the competition. 9 p.m. is my cut-off as well, actually and in spite of me going for earlier times before, this is what suits me at the moment and what helped me keep my weight where it is . Good luck to you :flowerforyou:. Stick to it! and you'll see that it gets easier with time and that the results will clearly show the morning after . Nice to have you in the team .

It seems like last night I had to make my score look a bit more real - it looked "too" perfect :ohwell::
Me: 9 - LNS: 1.

ME 7/LNS 3

FINALLY back on track (I hope). Came home after my daughter's basketball practice and had to keep repeating to everyone "please don't let me eat". It had just become a habit (bad) to nibble. But I succeeded. I do have to say though, from 3 a.m to 5 a.m. (during work) I have already eaten 600 calories of yummy cereal and whole milk (all we had in the house). So thank goodness for the gym today.

Zaza- I agree with Dew. Thanks for keeping with us through all your successes and smaller not to successes. We needed you.

asj0901 - Welcome. This is each our own personal challenge, with people to report to, encourage, and be encouraged by. We are thrilled to have you.

Rayflana - Great job on LNS and weight dropping. I always tease my husband, that if he wants to lose weight, just stop eating at 7 p.m. You are a testament that it works

Loveme - Have I misplaced you somewhere?

Rosemary - How are we doing? I finally finished the Ben and Jerry's so they are no longer a threat

Dew - You are awesome. Your score is definitely an incentive for me to get my butt in gear.

Have a great day everyone - and a successful evening!

But I'll try again tonight. There was a time when I was good at this challenge. :laugh: Just have to get there again.
Have a good day everyone and I wish you good luck tonight!

Zaza, I have to tell you that I am extremely impressed by you and encouraged. In the past, when I haven't had the kind of success I wanted, I would just throw in the towel. But your determination is inspiring to say the least. Keep at it. We have all had these hills to climb. But once you get to the top, the rest is just coasting down.

zaza54

Thanks! You're very sweet.:flowerforyou:

Lorna-Im here! Just busy with the boys. I'm back on track with you!

Rayflana-Good Job on your 5 days and losing 6lbs!

ZaZa-Don’t worry it’ll get better, you just have to get back into your routine.

Rosemary-Yes, Weekends are the hardest!

Asj0901 & Samgig-Welcome!

Dew: Don’t trip off that 1 night, you’ve been doing great. Keep up the good work!

asj0901

Okay... so last night 1/10/11 I DID NOT SNACK!!!! WOW! I was way tired so I went to bed about 1 hour earlier than normal... but I still did not snack!

LNS-1 ME-1 Take that LNS!:laugh:

rosemary10

Good for you asj! :flowerforyou: i work late too, actually all night. So consequently I often don't have a "normal" cut off time. I try to limit Junk Snacks and quit eating 2 hrs before my I go to sleep, whatever time that is.

I'm happy about having a day that is not wayover on calories! Nice to get back to it.

I'll count last night, cos it ended up well - but I was close to spoiling it, after putting something in my mouth a bit past my cut-off. I went to bed pretty late, so that was still 3 hrs before sleeping:
Me: 10 - LNS 1

It's time I make this comment: my cut-off is not that strict! If it's not up to me when I have the last bite, than what it matters is that I don't end up eating continuously .

samgig, welcome! :flowerforyou:
asj, I am impressed and proud of you! :flowerforyou:

asj0901

okay for the night of 1/11/11 I went home and did some exercise with my Carmen Electra disc 1 and went to bed. So take that LNS I chose exercise over you!

whatstheplan

What a great idea, eating once the kids are in bed is the thing that blows my daily total. having a fixed time after which I don't eat might actually work! Will see what happens - had bad day yesterday, better today but not as good as I should be, hopefully back to being good tomorrow.

zaza54

I just realized I had miscounted last time I logged in. My corrected total is:
Me: 3
LNS: 9
While not great, this is an improvement so I'm happy. I am going in the right direction as far as this challenge - just not in overall calories. :ohwell: Oh well. Can't have everything.....yet.
Will keep trying.

whatstheplan, welcome! :flowerforyou: Good plan, to fix your cut-off so that you stay away from food, which probably feels like a reward, once the hard day is over. You may be flexible and adjust you cut-off depending on when the kids are sound asleep - say half an hour after that? Good luck and let us know how it goes for you! :flowerforyou:

To all the lovely people who have embarked this challenge, but have gotten quiet: every one of us who's been at this for a long time had ups and downs. Don't feel embarrassed if you've "messed up" a few nights. The key to success is to stick to the challenge, to keep on trying. Then in a few days you'll see the reward on your scale and enjoy breakfast even more

So, are you back already?

Well, it's 1 for 1 since I last posted. That's still better than the beginning of the month. We went to the movies last night and....Anyway, I can highly recommend "The King's Speech" with Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush.
Hope you all enjoy the holdiay week-end.

I have no clue where the +2lbs on the scale come from - maybe I ate more hidden salt yesterday? :frown: Not dramatic, just a bit surprising...

rosemary10

Lost track of time. Was at my daughters house. It's something like:

Me 7 / JS 2

Dew, you're probably right about the salt, cause 2 lbs is overeating beyond maintenance by 7,000 cals. (Highly unlikely) :laugh:

Have a great weekend everyone! :flowerforyou:
